What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorChris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy lead Romain Gavras's dark comedy Sacrifice, now streaming on Netflix in the US and France, and What's on Netflix calls it frustrating.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFrustrating is a strong word for a movie with a charity gala on a Greek island and a plan to sacrifice three people into a volcano.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHaven't caught it yet, but it sounds amazing.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCritics say Chris Evans torches his own movie premiere with a flamethrower, and CBR has it at forty percent. Honestly, the flamethrower is the better review.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAlso, Variety loves Capturing Bigfoot, a documentary built on a lost sixteen millimeter reel from nineteen sixty-six that sat locked in a safe for decades.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentVariety says it doesn't leave you thinking the truth is still out there. It was in a safe. Somebody had the combination.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorStill ahead, what did hikers find hiding in the mountains?

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSequel pitch: Sacrifice Two. The premiere is in a safe.
